"Wonderful, this raid on the Demon Sect Lianyun Village has only been more than ten days, and it has been pacified in one fell swoop." In Dingzhou City, in the hall where Li Cheng captured and killed the envoy, Li Cheng couldn't help but applaud.

"This son only led 2,000 soldiers, a total of more than 10,000 people, and he came to Dongting Hunan for only two months, and it was easy for this mess to be rotten to the point that the situation was turned around."

"First of all, squad to squad, gradually expelled the power of the demon thieves from the countryside. He also used the official roads in various places as a chain and the walled city as a lock, divided the thieves into more than a dozen pieces that did not communicate with each other, encroached on the enemy's territory, and forced Zhong Xiang's main force to assemble in Na and flee. In the end, he left Hunan in the east, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and attacked to eliminate the entire puppet Chu imperial court...... One ring after another, but the arrangement is so carefully ......"

"Huh, ahhh......h

Li Cheng had a kind smile on his face: "Baby, don't make trouble, don't make trouble, the outer justice is talking about business...... It hurts, it hurts, spare your life! ”

Amused by him, the baby giggled.

That's right, this baby is Chen Lanruo's daughter.

Since Chen Lanruo went on the expedition, Li Chengcheng took her and Chen Lanruo's eldest maid Qiuhua into the mansion in the name of her grandfather, saying that she would take care of her nearby.

There was also a thin middle-aged scholar standing in the room, who was Tao Zisi, the mastermind of the Li family's army. Hearing Li Cheng's mouthless praise, his eyes were full of jealousy.

Seeing the baby making trouble, his face suddenly became impatient, and he said, "Qiuhua came in and took the son-in-law away." ”

"Yes, sir." Qiuhua walked in respectfully, it had only been ten days, and she was already haggard.

"Hold it down, by the way, the goat milk of the military ** Ying baby's is going to be boiled, and eating it raw will make you tummy." Li Cheng handed over the baby to Qiuhua, and when she went out, he sighed again: "It's not a big deal to raid Zhongxiang's imperial court with Neiying, but Wang Shen's use of roads and walled cities as chains to gradually encroach and squeeze the territory of the demon thieves is a righteous and bright plan." Imagine, if the old man is the prime minister, I am afraid that I will have no choice but to watch the situation reverse. The wings of our Wang Daosi children are really stiff, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. ”

Speaking of this, his face was solemn and vigilant, and even with a hint of admiration.

Yes, when he met Wang Shen in Huaixi, Li Cheng only thought that he was a young man who could fight. But for more than a year or two years, it was this little friend who was born on the battlefield to make a monstrous fortune. Its power is afraid that it is already comparable to Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun. Once he was willing, with the wealth of Jiang Han, he would be able to immediately expand the army to a jaw-dropping astronomical number.

On the other hand, in the past year or so, I have traveled thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, and the elite of the troops has become fewer and fewer, and the spirit of the soldiers is almost exhausted.

If it goes on like this, how can it be a way out?

The expression on Tao Zisi's face was even more annoyed: "Heavenly King, what is he Wang Shen." Yes, he can fight, but he can still be stronger than you. It's no wonder that we didn't meet a big backer like Du Chong at the beginning, if we went south back then, we could catch Zhang Deyuan and Zhang Xianggong's car, with his support, the situation of the king today is probably more prosperous than that of the surname Wang. It's a pity that as soon as the Jurchens crossed the river, the court fled to the sea, and everything was over. When the Jin army retreated north, Zhang Xianggong lost his momentum again and was sent to Jingluo Guanzhong. Time, luck, and life! ”

Hearing him say this, Li Cheng also sighed, and this bold person was a little depressed: "It is said that it is also a good way out for us to vote under Li Heng and Li Yanping." As long as we can help Li Xianggong take Jinghu and recover Xiangyang, it will not be difficult to enter the political affairs hall to participate in government affairs. When the time comes, a certain party should be able to display his ambitions. But ......"

Tao Zisi: "But what? ”

Li Cheng's face was dry: "From a certain point of view, Li Xianggong is also a mediocre person without talent. He has been going to Huangzhou for so long, but he has been a dignified member of the court, but he has been suppressed by Wang Xiaoxiao, and his life is very aggrieved! Let's pin our hopes on him, I'm afraid it won't work. Now, the majesty of the official family does not exist, the imperial decree does not work, and all parties do not take the Zhao family seriously. As far as the old man knew, the Wu Jie and Wu Lin brothers in Sichuan did not obey the orders of the imperial court. The transfer envoys sent to Sichuan were killed by them one by one, and they were killed until their heads fell to the ground, and only Zhang Deyuan could shock them. Li Heng is naturally not as good as Zhang Jun, I am afraid that Wang Shen will be annoyed by Li Heng and find a reason to harm Li Xianggong. On that day, won't all our arrangements be in vain? ”

Tao Zisi was shocked: "He is cautious, does he want to rebel?" ”

"Why doesn't he dare, what about rebellion, don't talk about him, even we haven't rebelled a few times." Li Cheng sighed: "Now the imperial court is the time to use soldiers, and the officials are vigorously encircling the commanders of various towns. If Wang Shenzhen kills Li Heng, he is afraid that the imperial court will not do anything, but will issue a decree to appease him. ”

Tao Zisi felt anxious for a while: "This Li Xianggong, surnamed Wang, has been in Hunan for two months, why hasn't he heard any news, what is he eating." ”

Li Cheng looked disdainful: "As I said, this person's talent is really limited, and naturally he is not as good as Zhang Deyuan." As for the grandfather, Li Heng is not worthy of lifting shoes for his old man. ”

"Ouch, my Heavenly King, what time is it now. Wang Shen took Zhong Xiang's head, and he was about to return to Anlu, what is the use of you being a character again? ”

At this time, a flying pigeon fluttered its wings and landed on the windowsill.

Tao Zisi was stunned, hurriedly grabbed the pigeon, took out a white silk from the copper pipe on the bird's leg, only glanced at it, and then giggled: "It's just the right time, the king of heaven, Li Xianggong came with a letter, saying that Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng were desperate and had asked for surrender from the pseudo-Qi." At the same time, the Xijing Jurchens also had abnormal movements, and the Wushu army had a tendency to move south to Xiangyang. Li Xianggong has already played the imperial court, appointed the Heavenly King as the deputy commander of the Japanese army, and ordered us to immediately lead the army north to Anzhou and prepare to recover Xiangyang Mansion. ”

He was so excited that his face turned red: "What is the recovery of Xiangyang, the Jurchens in Xiangyang are so easy to fight with Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng?" Li Xianggong's intention is only to order us to go north to take over the prefectures and counties of Anzhou, and if necessary, to solve the strange situation of many political departments in the Jianghan region by military means. ”

In a word, it is to completely eradicate Wang Shen's forces in Jianghan and drive him back to Huangzhou.

Li Chengyi snatched the letter, his eyes were full of essence: "It can be regarded as waiting, this Li Heng can be regarded as having made up his mind." Zhang Yong and Cao Chengnan are criminals, we can be regarded as famous teachers. Even if Wang Shen knew, he had no power to stop him. Zisi! ”

Tao Zisi: "The subordinates are here!" ”

Li Cheng: "Order the three armies to leave for Anlu tomorrow to join Li Xianggong, to be fast, you must arrive in Anlu before rushing to Wang Shen." ”

"Yes, Heavenly King." Tao Zisi: "But ...... General Chen Lanruo hasn't come back yet......"

Li Cheng snorted coldly: "Zisi, you are confused, you are a confidant of so-and-so, and you can reward you with any kind of woman you want." ”

"No, no, the Heavenly King, you misunderstood." Tao Zisi said repeatedly: "That's five hundred cavalry, don't care now, is it possible to throw it to Wang Shen for nothing?" ”

"I'm also distressed, but it's important, but I can't care so much, what kind of vinegar do you eat Wang Shen for?" Li Cheng said: "Don't forget, Lan Ruoke is my righteous daughter, and the baby is her precious daughter, I believe she will come back." ”

"My subordinates understood." Tao Zisi suddenly realized, yes, the baby is now in the hands of the Heavenly King. Everyone knows that Chen Lanruo treats the baby as the meat of her heart, and she is afraid of cold when she holds it in her hand, and she is afraid of melting it in her mouth. As long as there is a baby as a hostage, there is no fear that Chen Lan will not comply.

Tao Zisi continued: "Heavenly King, Du Shu is now stationed outside the city, did we kill him before we leave?" ”

Li Cheng thought for a while and shook his head: "No need, Du Shu is a waste, there are only more than 1,000 people in his camp, and he can't hurt Wang Shen even if he kills him." Besides, what I want in the north this time is just the Jianghan Plain. It's not good to say, I have to be a neighbor with Wang Shen in the future, leave a line of favor, and see each other in the future. ”

"Yes, Heavenly King."

"It's still the same sentence, you have to be fast, and everything you can't take away is thrown away. Tell everyone, don't think about snatching and killing before leaving, whoever delays a certain trip will be corrected on the spot. At this moment, Li Cheng, who had been dormant for more than a year and had already looked discouraged, stood up suddenly.

A fierce awe-inspiring aura emanated from him, and the heavenly king who had ruled the world in the past was resurrected.

"In addition, before leaving, I requisitioned all the ships in Dingzhou. Except for what our army can use, everything else will be burned down, and not an inch of board will be left for Wang Daosi. ”

"Brother Daosi, you are really strong now, I can't wait to compete with you in Jianghan, hahahaha!"

Li Cheng laughed loudly. [.]
